Cupcake (fanchild)

Cupcake is a 13-year-old Baroness Von Bon Bon x Cuphead fanchild, and a hero and older cousin of Saltwater. She was overall inspired by Cherry Soda, a fanchild made by KarlaDraws14.

Appearance
Cupcake is an anthropomorphic cup with light pink skin, light brown chocolate milk, giving the appearance of puffy hair, topped with a light rose-pink and white striped bendy-straw. Her face consists of eyes that are very close together with black pie-cut pupils, and a small pink nose. She always has a determined expression in the face of danger.

She is mostly seen wearing a pink and light-pink, long-sleeve striped shirt with a red and white striped heart print, white gloves, a skirt giving an appearance to a vanilla cake with chocolate frosting, a green ribbon around her waist, resembling Fruit By The Foot or green fondant, dark red leggings and aubergine boots.

In her sleep attire, she wears a queen pink colored onesie with cupcake patterns on them, and wears cerise socks.

Cupcake's ghost still has the cup-like head and gloves, but her appearance is now a ghostly blue. Her skirt and legs are now replaced with a ghost tail, her straw is now a halo, and her expression is now that of melancholy. In the center of Cupcake's ghost's chest, there is a pink heart which can be parried to resurrect her. When used as a Super Art, her ghost is muscular and her expression is determined.

If the answer "Yes" is chosen in the cut scene with Dana Devil before her battle—triggering the bad ending—her appearance dramatically changes. She is now seen with an eaten or ripped cake skirt, a broken magenta straw, a magenta nose, evil-looking yellow eyes with black and red pupils, a maniacal smile, and sharp teeth. The green ribbon around her waist is now loose, that can also be eaten or ripped.

In the future timeskip, Cupcake now wears a long cerise skirt that goes down to her ankles, which also resembles Fruit By The Foot with red frosting on it, a cherry-red and white heart-shaped tank top, red and white striped shoulder-length gloves, "hair" comes through the straw, resembling a ponytail, and a candy-like bow on her straw. She's also seen to wear aubergine ballet flats.

Personality
Cupcake is typically a nice person alongside her younger cousin, Saltwater, enjoying an easygoing and good life, but is relentlessly optimistic, her confidence and drive for adventure can lead her to appear devious, or get her into trouble, but at her core, she is kindhearted who wants to do good—but has the tendency to leap before she looks, just like Cuphead.

Cupcake seems to be a daredevil. She is shown to be the more confident, fun-loving and slightly cheeky type. She (in contrast to her little cousin) often takes quite the amount of risks.

As seen in the introduction, Cupcake seems to have a somewhat greedy personality, apparently willing to risk anything to get what she wants, causing the infamous bet which nearly cost the souls of her and her cousin. Despite her flaws, however, she seems to be kindhearted and has good intentions overall, such as in the good ending where she and Saltwater burn all the soul contracts, setting everyone free.

Story
In Inkwell Isle, Cupcake and her younger cousin, Saltwater, lived happy and carefree under the watch of their parents. One day, the girls got to school, and got bullied by the children of the previous debtors who fought their fathers. Until they wandered far from home and ended up in the Devil's Casino, despite their father's warnings.

In the casino, Cupcake and Saltwater were on a winning streak at the Craps table. When Dana Devil came to the table, she offered a bet: if the two cousins won, they would get all the loot in the casino, but if they lost, Dana Devil would take their souls.

Cupcake, blinded by easy riches, rolled the dice and landed on snake eyes, losing the bet. She and Saltwater begged for their lives, and so Dana Devil sent them on a mission to collect her debtors' soul contracts by midnight, saying she would consider sparing them. Cupcake and Saltwater ran back home as fast as they could in a panic to Cuphead and Mugman, who gave them a potion granting powerful abilities to aid them on their journey, that Elder Kettle used to give them.

After some training, the two cousins went to go to collect the soul contracts, using their powers to battle bosses, run through levels, and save the Legendary Chalice. When traveling from Inkwell Isle One to Inkwell Isle Two, their parents informs the two that their strength is growing thanks to the power of the soul contracts, and soon it will be enough to defeat Dominique Dice and even Dana Devil in battle.

Once all of the soul contracts are collected, they meet up with Dominique Dice, who forces them to play a "game" before they can see Dana Devil. After Dominique Dice is defeated, Cupcake and Saltwater meet up with Dana Devil, who was awaiting them in her office. If they decide to give Dana Devil the soul contracts, Cupcake and Saltwater become her personal lackeys and are turned into demonic slaves, resulting in the "bad" ending. If the players decide to not give them the soul contracts, Dana Devil will become outraged and battle them.

Upon Dana Devil's defeat, the girls accept her surrender and burn all of the soul contracts, releasing the residents from their eternal servitude to Dana Devil. The boys then went home and told the residents that they are now free from their debt. They are praised for their bravery, and an all-day celebration began. In their success, Cupcake and Saltwater promised to never get into trouble again—until the next time.

Trivia

 * CupcakeOld.png was Cupcake's first design: It was later scrapped due to it looking similar to KarlaDraw14's


 * Cupcake surprisingly doesn't like candy soup, though she does like candy.CupcakeFar-Distance.png
 * She doesn't have a sclera in her far-distance render:
 * Cupcake sacrificed herself for Saltwater by jumping off a tall school building before Dana Devil dropped Saltwater off the building. Saltwater survived, but Cupcake did not. Her soul could not be parried on because Dana Devil already collected her soul at grasp. Thankfully, she was brought back to life by a seance in a Wiccapedia (witch pun on wikipedia) book Cuphead stole.
 * She has a doll named Spindle. In the future timeskip, she accidentally lost Spindle in her garden and completely forgot all about it while she was on a trip.
 * It is confirmed that Cupcake is bisexual, because when Deedee The Clownish Great congratulates her and Saltwater for defeating Dana Devil and Dominique Dice, she blushes. She also blushed when she saved Flame Matchstick-Warbles from a falling rock on a cliff. Cupcake also dated Dana Devil for a while.
